Simon Cowell gets bossed around by baby Eric

He might be the X Factor boss, but these holiday pics prove it's Eric who's in charge at home

He's the big chief on The X Factor but music mogul Simon Cowell is number 2 at best, when it comes to family life. Sharing pictures from his holiday in Sardinia with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their 2-year-old son Eric – it's clear to see who rules the roost.

"Eric. Daddy is the boss," Simon comments on a picture where he's clearly trying to give the toddler some instructions. But in the next snap, Eric asserts his own authority, pushing his dad's chin up. "Ok. You're the boss," Simon concedes.

In another picture, the family of 3 cosy up on their luxury yacht. Simon and Lauren are clearly trying to catch some rays as they relax in their swimwear. But baby Eric is safely covered up in a navy sunhat and blue T-shirt.

In another picture, Eric sits on his dad's lap enjoying a juicy watermelon.

"Silly hats," Simon comments on a picture of Eric wearing a rather oversized baseball hat.

Well, we have to say we're very jealous. We could do with some sunshine!
